I am a Mortgage and Real Estate Professional, a focus which I have drown on from my past experiences and a genuine desire to help people through challenging personal situations. I am innovative, trusted and possesses the determination necessary to get the job done. When I am not in the office or out with clients, I play basketball, I love golfing, yoga and cooking. In 2012 I purchased a small farm outside of Kankakee and enjoy spending time with the grandchildren.
